Our summary description
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
In a hospital bed, comaTOAST, a woman drifts through parts of her past, present, and future, trying to right wrongs and atone for the choices she has made. She does not know if she will live to wear great shoes another day, and the uncertainty sharpens what rises to meet her in the dark.
As she moves through this spiritual journey, she encounters friends, old and new, who guide her towards the question she has avoided. Who is she, really. Jemima Cairns, the girl from the sleepy harbour hamlet of Dunnore, or Tatum Grant, editor in chief of KILT magazine, managing a flawless life in meticulous detail.
The story turns towards motherhood and its contradictions, exploring triumphs and tribulations, profound connection and inevitable failing. Through spirituality, it reflects on how these experiences shape a life, and what is asked of a woman as she tries to hold everything together.
93 Days of Toast unfolds as a poignant narrative of womanhood in all its forms, and often its failings.
